From the below thread, RE: "Hootensnooter".
So, some years ago, I'm doing some volunteer work locally, and had scored some free Macs.
Now, in order to use them, we had to install an Ethernet card in them. The logic board had a special slot for them, called the "Comm Slot".
Well, the Windows guy (it figures) constantly referred to it as the "Cum Slut".
Until I had him fired for annoying me.
Dude, DO NOT fill up the Windows machine with S&M porn at the non-profit that's paying you to teach Windows to the elderly and immigrants.
Or at least, don't do that and then piss me off.

Veterans Day Messages from Troops In Iraq, Filmed By Defense Dept., Feature Replica of Twin Towers
After months of studied ambiguity, President Bush finally admitted that Iraq had “nothing” to do with the attack on the World Trade Center. The Defense Department, however, appears determined to perpetuate the myth.
Today, the administration released veterans day messages from troops in Iraq. These “taped messages from the U.S. Defense Department” featured a replica of the twin towers in the background. Here’s a screen shot:

Bush and Blair discuss new policy for Iraq
Transatlantic phone call anticipates top level submissions to influential study group next week
The Observer
Tony Blair and beleaguered President George Bush have had a long discussion on how to push forward 'change' in the coalition's policy in Iraq.
In Friday's phone conversation, Blair, who will give evidence to the Bush-appointed Iraq Study Group on Tuesday, insisted on the need to regionalise the peace effort and draw Iran and Syria - which have been accused of supporting insurgents - into any solution.

Well, it wasn't just facial beauty, it was the physical type, and I think Cate did that well. But they needed tall and skinny/lithe, so most of the elf extras were college students. I think in this case shooting in NZ was a drawback, not enough population to draw from.

Yes she did. And I suppose that the whole point about the elves, especially the most noble among them, was that they had a preternatural beauty that was inherently inhuman. So it's pretty hard to cast humans that live up to that standard on the face of it, and therefore hard to fault Jackson for making compromises there.

Pigboy, first, sorry about seeming so condescending earlier. I was trying to pull one of those Molly Ivins things.
The answer is, there are 49 Republicans and 49 Democrats in the new Senate, and the two independents, who are going to caucus with the Dems, which gives them control. Sanders is for all practical purposes a Dem, but Lieberman is of course well known to side with the GOP when it really counts (like cloture votes).

Thanks and don't worry about it. It had more to do with me being up all night at work and not sleeping than anything else. I hope I wasn't too rude myself.
This next Senate has really got to get their act together and focus on the changing the big things. I hope Reid can do it.

It's about a boy-creature of unnamed species who encounters a pair of pants in a spooky moonlit woods.
He flees, but the pants pursue him running, in a rowboat and on a bicycle.
Finally he summons the courage to befriend the pants, and finds them harmless. He concludes "Poor lonely pants, with nobody inside them"

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- Two days after losing a bid for a second term, Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he was unsure whether he would remain a Republican.
Chafee lost to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in a race seen as a referendum on President Bush and the GOP. On Thursday, he was asked whether he would stick with the Republican Party or become an independent or Democrat.
"I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is," Chafee said at a news conference. When pressed on whether his comments indicated he might leave the GOP, he replied: "That's fair."
Chafee, 53, is a lifelong Republican who has represented Rhode Island for seven years. His father held the same seat for 23 years before that.
He is the most liberal Republican in the Senate and was the sole Senate Republican to vote against the war in Iraq. But that was not enough to prevail against Whitehouse, who shared many of Chafee's views but was a Democrat in a heavily Democratic state.
Cool. The other parties have managed to make a right mess of things.

It is the natural consequence of selective environmental pressure applied to a self-perpetuating stochastic process over deep time.
In the brodaer perspective, of course, the whole universe is a random process. It is the enthalpy of the sun that drives self-organizing behavior in the random soup of molecules on planet Earth and locally reduces the entropy level.

For Prof Wombat and Sallyh,
From This Hotel Room by Steve Goodman
They got a room service menu for food and drink
A porcelain throne and an aluminum sink
Two big pillows to rest my head
A Magic Fingers and a king-size bed
Put in a quarter
Turn out the light
Magic Fingers makes ya feel alright
Uh feel alright
Feel alright
Magic Fingers makes you feel alright

SNL just tore the bug-eyed idiot (999,979) a new one..
I submit that this is the most incredibly geeky comment on any blog ever.
1. The poster is bragging about how a Saturday Night Live sketch has cleverly satirized his political opposition.
2. The poster uses the abbreviation "SNL" in manner of hip individual.
3. The poster is using "Tore new one" expression in manner of tough person of stature of Chuck Norris or similar.
4. The poster has made up his original sexist term of abuse for the next Speaker of the House of Representatives. He seems to hope that this term of abuse will catch on and thus earn him a measure of Fame.
5. This person has numerological concept of Minister Farrakhan or similar.
6. Poster is acting malevolently in textual manner in Internet Blog Comments Section on Friday night.
The evidence, frankly, is overwhelming.

In addition to attacking American ships (which is, as we know, tantamount to attacking the country) and invading a ton of American holdings (which is, as we know, tantamount to attacking the country) the Japanese did, in fact, attack the mainland of the United States. At least twice. Ineptly, true, but they were attacks. Once with a sub shooting at California, and once with balloons intended to start forest fires. There may be better examples, but it's getting late between my ears...

"You know what's weird? The Japanses General Staff and the German General Staff knew that once the United States became an enemy combatant, it was all over."

Both trools and morans are subsets of the genus putz. The trool differs from the moran chiefly in the wider space between the eyes and the more prominent brow ridges. The moran also tends to be more docile and has a distinct tendency to run into walls with no reason.

Before she was sent asunder, she had peripheral participation in the Battle of the Phillipine Sea, the Battle of of the Gulf of Leyte, and Okinawa, though she never sank another ship in combat.
She capsized and sank after US Navy aircraft dropped 8 direct bomb hits and 10 torpedo hits on her hull.

I guess they would have shit a brick if the US opened a major shipyard on the Pacific. Worked out well enough anyway.

One December back in the 90's I visited an old friend in Montreal, and he kept his house at 15C. (60F)
Even with a t-shirt, shirt, and sweater and long pants on, after several hours of heat loss, I started shivering so violently that I had to put on an outside coat. After some choice words in French, he gave in an put it up to 66F, which was tolerable with the sweater. My feet never did get warm on that trip. The crazy part of all this was that it was cheap - Hydro Quebec power.

The books are: Foundation [1951], Foundation and Empire [1952], Second Foundation [1953], Foundation's Edge [1982], Foundation and Earth [1986], Prelude to Foundation [1988 ], Forward the Foundation [1993]
Certainly read the first one--it's quick and simple. It's good stuff for the imagination. As you can see, Asimov took the thing a long way, as the story of what went on before and after got more complex. There were tie-ins to his robot novels and books referred to as the "Empire" series.
I don't read much science fiction--watch it, yes, but not reading. I can say that I've read all the above books and enjoyed them thoroughly.

O'Brian writes as if he has actually controlled ships in the early 1800s, and describes them in great detail. You get the sense of the ship sitting in the water, how she handles with certain types of guns or sails, different weights of cargo, how she shifts in the wind with different sails up or down...
It's like someone who tells you about how they drove their manual stick shift car to San Diego in heavy traffic...with the cops looking for him.

chucks a well spoken voice of reason, at least that's what he sounds like but he is what's wrong with the Democratic party. He is republican light and no voice of change. His slimy comments and sucking up to faux spews only undermines the good works of this last election. And for the life of me I cannot understand Reid or his promised appointment to LIEberman. Maybe the senate needs a new democratic leader and maybe schumer and Emanual should get the boot.

Certainly read the first one--it's quick and simple. It's good stuff for the imagination. As you can see, Asimov took the thing a long way, as the story of what went on before and after got more complex. There were tie-ins to his robot novels and books referred to as the "Empire" series.
Uncle Smokes
Thanks, I will. I have read some other Sci Fi, I've gone through the Dune series and Bradbury of course, but was confused by the fuss over the Hitchhiker's Guide. Think I read it too late or something, it felt very dated.
I will take on Asimov next.

I nearly screamed listening to a hysterical Liddie Dole drawl on in her passive aggressive way in that thick god awful drawl of hers in an interview Tuesday afternoon. She talked endlessely about how they were going to keep their power. For me, it was the lowest of low points in the last six years. But they didn't hold on, and now they must be investigated for at least the major transgressions.

And just where did you make those investigations, and give me some results.
Basic and midlevel astronomy throughout gradeschool, highschool, college, and after. Various telescopes, and a few college observatories in the Northeast.
Viewed most of the inner planets and many nebulae, galaxies, rings, eclipses, transits, etc.
Ongoing study of laymans quantum physics (terrible at math) and other topics related to nature of cosmos.

hi QL!
I have mixed feelings about Switzerland. The people I work with are very nice, but I am the only woman in the office. It seems there aren't too many women in IT in Switzerland, only about 5%. In Canada, it's about 50%. The USA must be the same.
They have really big burly security guard at the supermarkets and I'm not used to that. People are not particularly nice, not like in Bavaria.
And everything is so damned expensive. Milk is .50 Euros a litre in Europe. Here, it's like 2.50 Francs. (with the exchange rate, it should be about .60 Francs)
It's nice to have a lake downtown with swans and everything, but it will take some getting used to.

I got the same thing from the Bavarians. Some of them seemed cold, but once you started to talk to them, they would be very nice and wouldn't shut up.
I'm not so sure the Swiss are like that, although the guys I work with are.
It's nice to get Italian programming on tv here. Maybe I can pick up some Italian (words, not guys)

I would link to the NY Times article but I'm too lazy. The article ended with an upbeat vingette. A young woman who has to travel on business takes "a stoic approach" to lost baggage. She's all que sera, sera about it. "I just went to my business meeting in jeans."
What a delightful young woman. The NYT always seems to find a spunky young woman with and MBA, a feisty grandma, or a Pakistani cab driver to leave us with a smile on our faces.
reports from Katmandu note that indeed the ancient construct that has been seasonally investigated by a team of global scientists and mountain climbing technicians high on the summit of Mt Ararat apparently is Noah's Ark of pre-biblical mythology, but curiously enough there's no explaination for the surprising number of modern luggage and single socks found in it's hold.

'Formula' sells well, and it's so simple to write once you have the basic template down. Some days i think a lot of 'conspiracy' is just the good-ol' capitalist quest to maximize gains by minimizing effort - such as the printing of White House/GOP boilerplate as 'the story', simply because getting the blastfax at 0900 and inserting it into a Word Perfect template means you're out of the office for the day by lunchtime.

Just days after Democrats took over Congress, Americans embraced their top goals and
President George W. Bush's job approval rating slid to 31 percent, according to a Newsweek poll issued on Saturday.
Huge majorities of those polled said they approved of the legislative priorities cited by Democratic leaders after their party seized control of the Senate and the House of Representatives from Republicans, the magazine said.
The strongest support, 92 percent, was for lowering drug prices for retirees on Medicare by allowing the government to negotiate directly with drug companies. Some three-quarters of respondents said it should be a top priority, according to Newsweek.
Americans also supported raising the federal minimum wage (89 percent), investigating government contracts in Iraq (89 percent) and cutting the interest rate of federal student loans (88 percent).
The idea that Tuesday was somehow a victory for wishy-washiness is quite humorous when you look at the facts, such as the ones cited by Gimlet.

Concerned about the U.S. government's prying eyes, a number of Canadian universities are changing the way their professors and students conduct online research.
Many university libraries subscribe to RefWorks, a popular U.S.-based Internet tool that allows academics and students to create personal accounts and store research information, as well as generate citations and bibliographies.
But the Patriot Act — which grew out of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and which potentially allows U.S. authorities to sweep through databases such as RefWorks — has prompted Canadian postsecondary institutions to abandon the American server for one housed at the University of Toronto.
“There is certainly concern within Canadian university libraries. It's a concern about a foreign country having access to your personal information without good cause,” said William Maes, librarian at Dalhousie University in Halifax. “That's the devious thing of the Patriot Act, they can do this without letting anybody know.”
With RefWorks, professors and students set up personal accounts on the U.S. database and can then save journal titles for their research records. Amid heightened fears about terrorist activities, Canadian university officials worry that if the research is of a sensitive nature, it could be misunderstood.
For example, an academic researching North Korea or nuclear weapons could find the work flagged by the Bush government, university librarians fear. As a result, Dalhousie, Memorial University of Newfoundland and the University of Alberta are among the institutions that have switched to the Canadian server.
The hope is that data on a Canadian server will be protected from the Patriot Act, which gives authorities virtually unlimited investigative powers.

LONDON — Organized religion fuels anti-gay discrimination and other forms of bias, pop star Elton John said in an interview published Saturday.
“I think religion has always tried to turn hatred towards gay people,” John said in the Observer newspaper's Music Monthly Magazine. “Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays.”
“But there are so many people I know who are gay and love their religion,” he said. “From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.”
Religious leaders have also failed to do anything about tensions and conflicts around the world, he said.
“Why aren't they having a conclave? Why aren't they coming together?” he asked.

Back then, the full measure of the man finally snapped into focus for most Americans, sending his poll numbers into the 30s for the first time. The country saw that the president who had spurned a grieving wartime mother camping out in the sweltering heat of Crawford was the same guy who had been unable to recognize the depth of the suffering in New Orleans’s fetid Superdome. This brand of leadership was not the “compassionate conservatism” that had been sold in all those photo ops with African-American schoolchildren. This was callous conservatism, if not just plain mean.

from lipreader's link:
Dominance behavior: There have been reports of a submissive troll consuming the feces of one or more dominant trolls in the same message board. There are other examples in nature where the submissive members of a group participate in apparently bizarre behaviors. This is being examined in our study.
Reinforcement: Something about eating the feces itself reinforces the behavior. Things such as taste may be a factor in this. It's simply appealing to the troll to eat the feces, so it does so. This is the likely mechanism in interspecific coprophagia such as eating democratic feces.
Feeding behavior: Many republicans feed their trolls only once per day. Some postulate that trolls naturally want to have multiple meals throughout the day, hence they use coprophagia to supplement their feeding schedule and fulfill this need. This is being examined in our study.
slightly modified for this morning, of course.

Carl Levin hasn't decided what he's going to do about Gates - he said that he wasn't very forthcoming about Iran Contra -years ago.
Biden voted against him 15 years ago but is inclined to vote for him now.

Switch it out and start using another pot that doesn't have plants in it once you organics like coffee grinds have awhile to compost. You can cover it if you don't like the way it looks with one of those water catch trays or just add a light layer of bagged topsoil on top.

how do the Blue Dog Democrats fit into Nancy Pelosi's party?
As Democrats, one would presume.

That Newsweek poll should be a wake up call to every politician. The country is definitively moving left of center. As Gilliard points out, they got a whooping, even in S. Dakota, because they are just wrong on all the issues.

top post at TPM, goddess i love larry when his dander is up: Wednesday's surprising resignation/firing of Don Rumsfeld and the nomination of the CIA chief who served Bush 41, Robert Gates, was a dramatic and emphatic smack in the face of Dick Cheney. While George W. Bush remains stubbornly committed to the present course in Iraq, there should be no doubt that he is no longer willing to be the Charlie McCarthy to Cheney's Edgar Bergen. Cheney's hand is no longer firmly up Bush's ass and Bush is speaking for himself.
This was a stinging rebuke to Cheney, who had brought his mentor, Don Rumsfeld, into the Bush 43 tent over the strenuous objections of the Bush 41 crowd. Cheney and Rumsfeld shared the same world view of the NeoCon crowd, which included a fierce distrust and anger toward the CIA. During the last five years Cheney assisted Rumsfeld's quest to set up a completely independent intelligence operation in the Department of Defense. At least with the DOD intel capability, the Pentagon and the White House could ignore the CIA view

The government is facing a major split over race hate laws, with cabinet colleagues divided over whether the legislation should be toughened.
Two cabinet heavyweights - the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, and the Home Secretary, John Reid - differ over how to respond to Friday's acquittal of the British National Party leader, Nick Griffin, and a fellow BNP activist.
The split comes as Brown, Reid and the Tory leader David Cameron all made moves yesterday to boost their credentials over anti-terror measures and law and order ahead of the Queen's Speech on Wednesday. The speech will include sweeping new measures to tackle antisocial behaviour, immigration, reoffending and terrorism.

Bush has a problem. He got rid of Rummy. If he gets rid of Cheney too that makes W himself the most hated man in government.
He should do the right thing and name Pelosi President.
